Apex Legends at least was running fine on Steam Deck prior to november 2024 when they instituted this change, and I can tell you from personal experience it had very little impact on cheaters, which was their excuse for the change (supposedly most cheaters were connecting via Linux clients).

The oldest iPhone OS that natively boots on my particular one is 1.1.4, 1.1.1 (which is the highest version number where you can trivially escape the OOBE via the emergency dialer) fails to initialise the FTL (flash translation layer), probably because the chip is sufficiently different from that used in the older phones.

It would bring me great joy to be able to relive emergency dialer hacktivation again, but I have lost that particular iPhone 2G, and only have this 16GB one left.

Also, if I want to add another domain that should be accepted and reverse proxied to my application, in Caddy I just do this:

    example.com wp.example.com caddyfreakingrules.example.com {
      root * /var/www/wordpress
      php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php-version-fpm.sock
      file_server
    }

Another thing, does nginx with the above configuration automatically load new certs if the ones that were there when the process spawned have since expired? Because not only does Caddy automatically renew the certs, it is handled transparently and there's zero downtime (provided nothing changes about the DNS pointers of course).

Caddy is freaking awesome!

Bonus, if this were your Caddyfile (the entire thing, this is all that's needed!):

    {
      admin off
      auto_https prefer_wildcard
      email hostmaster@example.com
      cert_issuer acme {
        dir https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
        resolvers 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1
        dns cloudflare {env.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN}
      }
      ocsp_stapling off
    }

    example.com wp.example.com caddyfreakingrules.example.com {
      root * /var/www/wordpress
      php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php-version-fpm.sock
      file_server
    }

    # This is simply to trigger generation of the wildcard cert without
    # responding with the Wordpress application on all of the domains.
    *.example.com {
      respond "This is not the app you're looking for" 404
    }

The result of which is that Caddy will only generate one cert for the above 3 sites, and Let's Encrypt won't leak the existance of the wp.example.com and caddyfreakingrules.example.com domains via certificate transparency.

Also, adding features on its own is great, but obviously stuff like what happened here can't be allowed to happen, and those Samsung or LG smart fridges that became advertising boards is obviously also not acceptable...

Easy to call the bullshit out, hard to actually define the responsibilities of a manufacturer in a law.

I'm donating to them and hoping they eventually get those implemented.

This is what bcachefs is based on.

To add to this, it's often said that research can only take you so far, at some point you have to ship something to get the opinions and hands on from a wider audience of users to make further discoveries and improvements.

Hope "go back in later" isn't too far down the line, I have 10x8TB spinners, and 4x2TB NVMe disks that I'm looking to move from md-raid + BTRFS to something else, and I really want that to be an in-tree filesystem.

From an excited and hopeful potential future user looking in, this sounds like "working with has been extremely disruptive to me selling my produce", there's nowhere else your customers can realistically get your product, unless you want to only sell to extremely picky customers who will make the hour long trip out to your farm and back.

> I do not strictly need bcachefs to be in the kernel.

But I (and your other users) do...

I shouldn't be weighing in, I'm a lightweight with no skin in the game here, just a regular (very technical) user. I guess I just want you to know that your product has many people that want to use it, but even I won't drive to your farm for it, as I can't risk a Linux-update breaking the DKMS-modules that make my system able to use the bcachefs filesystem all my data is on.

I don't know what possible avenue we have of getting bcachefs back into the kernel and maintained, but I hope you find it, whatever it is.

Which hurts so much because it truly seems amazing from so many perspectives, and I admire Kents dedication to it. I was extremely excited to make a large bcachefs filesystem, with RAID6-like redundancy, foreground NVMe disks and spinning rust as background storage, and it seemed to be in the near future too, but now it probably won't happen at all which makes me incredibly sad for us all.

You've obviously not been in this industry for very long, about half the places I've been to have had at least one "rockstar developer" that was actually quite mediocre but had the ear of management which thought they were all that and as a result got to do whatever they wanted.
